Before You Brew

CAUTION: While brewing, there is extremely hot water in the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid injury, do not lift the handle during the brewing process. Do not brew into glass.

NOTE: For best results, we recommend one-time use with our K-Cup® pods. A twice-brewed pod won’t provide full flavor, and if the pod holder isn’t lined up with the original

holes, it can cause an overflow of water and coffee grounds.

Caring For Your Brewer

Regular cleaning keeps your brewer running smoothly. Always be sure to turn off and unplug your brewer before cleaning.

The water reservoir should be

cleaned periodically by wiping the

inside of the reservoir and underside

of the lid with a damp, nonabrasive,

lint-free cloth. Do not dry the inside

of the water reservoir with a cloth, as

lint may remain. Allow the reservoir

to dry completely. Hand-wash only.

Brewer Exterior

Keep your Keurig® brewer looking its

best by cleaning the exterior from

time to time. Just clean with a damp,

soapy, lint-free, nonabrasive cloth.

Never immerse the brewer in water or

other liquids.

Drip Tray

The drip tray overflow should be emptied and

cleaned occasionally. To remove, lift up off

brewer base, keeping it level to avoid spilling.

Rinse and clean with a damp, soapy, lint-free,

nonabrasive cloth. Hand-wash only.

COMPATIBLE WITH THE MY K-CUP® UNIVERSAL REUSABLE

COFFEE FILTER:

Brew your own ground coffee (sold separately).

AUTO OFF: Automatically turns your brewer off 5 minutes

after the last brew for energy savings, but will be ready to

brew as soon as it is powered on again.

HIGH ALTITUDE: To ensure your brewer works properly at

higher altitudes (5,000 feet), please enable the High Altitude

Brewing Mode on your brewer.

1. Begin with the brewer plugged in and powered off.

2. Press and hold the POWER button and 10oz button for 3

seconds. The 12oz button will illuminate to confirm that the

High Altitude Brewing Mode has been enabled.

3. High Altitude Mode will remain enabled until steps 1-2

are repeated and the 12oz light turns off and the 8oz light

turns on to confirm that the High Altitude Brewing Mode is

disabled.

HIGH ALTITUDE BREWING: While holding the brewer handle

up, push down slowly on the K-Cup® pod in the pod holder

until the bottom of the K-Cup® pod is punctured by the exit

needle.

K-Cup® Pod Holder

To remove the K-Cup® pod holder from

the brewer, lift the handle and grasp

the top of the K-Cup® pod holder

with one hand while pushing up on

the bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder

from underneath with the other until

it releases. After cleaning, align the

K-Cup® pod holder with the opening,

using the two front ribs as a guide,

and snap into place from the top.

Funnel

Washing the funnel ensures a fresh

beverage experience. The funnel

should be washed regularly and can

be removed from the K-Cup® pod

holder by pulling on it until it pops off.

To replace it, orient the snaps to the

indent and just snap it back onto the

K-Cup® pod holder.

Exit Needle

Remove the pod holder assembly

and detach the funnel. Locate the

exit needle on the inside bottom

of the K-Cup® pod holder. Insert a

straightened paper clip into the exit

needle to loosen any coffee grounds.

CAUTION: There are sharp needles that puncture the K-Cup® pod above the K-Cup® pod holder and in the

bottom of the K-Cup® pod holder. To avoid risk of injury, do not put your fingers in the K-Cup® pod holder.

NOTE: Always remove and dispose of the used K-Cup® pod after brewing.

Entrance Needle

Lift the brewer handle and locate

the entrance needle on the

underside of the lid. To clean the

holes in the needle, hold the brewer

handle in the upward position and

with your other hand, carefully insert

a straightened paper clip into all

the holes. Gently move it around to

loosen any coffee grounds. Lower

the handle completely and run a

cleansing brew two times. Do not

insert a K-Cup® pod.

Regular Maintenance

For great-tasting coffee, keep your brewer running at peak performance by following the recommended

maintenance schedule:

Frequency Product Benefit

Weekly Keurig® Rinse Pods Weekly cleaning with Keurig® Rinse Pods helps

reduce flavor carryover between brews

Every 2 months Keurig® Water Filters Keep your water fresh and help remove impurities

Every 3 months or when

the Descale notification

turns on*

Keurig® Descaling Solution Eliminate mineral buildup to preserve the long-

term health of your brewer

*To turn off Descale notification, follow the full descaling procedure as outlined in this guide.

If the brewer has been in storage or hasn’t been used in days, run a cleansing brew before brewing

your beverage.

Periodically hand-wash the water reservoir and lid and drip tray with warm, soapy water and rinse clean.

CAUTION: Parts are not dishwasher safe.

NOTE: Do not dry the inside of the water reservoir with a cloth, as lint may remain.

Grounds in Your Coffee

Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles

and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or

similar tool.

• Clean the exit needle of the K-Cup® pod holder. Refer to the

exit needle care instructions.

• Clean the brewer entrance needle. Refer to the entrance

needle care instructions.

For optimal enjoyment and to limit grounds in your cup

during hot water brews or when transitioning from brewing a

coffee pod to a non-coffee pod (e.g., tea or cocoa), clean the

exit and entrance needles per the instructions provided and

perform two cleansing brews.

Brewer Will Not Brew

• The water level must be at the minimum line to brew. Add

an additional 2oz of water to the reservoir to ensure the

minimum fill level has been met, then press the brew size

button. Repeat until the brewer begins to dispense.

• Lift up and replace the reservoir to ensure a secure fit on

the base.

Brewing a Partial Cup

• BREW OVER ICE dispense volume includes ice melt.

The BREW OVER ICE setting automatically adjusts brew

parameters to take into account ice melt, delivering the

desired beverage with a final volume equal to the selected

brew size.

• Unplug the brewer and plug it back in to put the brewer in

idle state (all lights off). Press and hold the 10oz button for

5 seconds until water starts dispensing. Then release and

let the water purge. Discard the contents into the sink.

• The exit needle may be clogged. Refer to the exit needle

care instructions.

• Clean the K-Cup® pod holder; see K-Cup® pod holder care

instructions.

• The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated

the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is

still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service.

Brewer Does Not Have Power or Shuts Off

• Brewer does not have a power button. To turn the brewer

on, press any button or open the handle. The brewer

automatically turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity.

• Plug brewer into its own outlet. If the electric circuit is

overloaded with other appliances, your brewer may not

function properly. The brewer should be operated on its

own circuit, separate from other appliances.

• If the brewer still doesn’t have power, contact

Customer Service.

Troubleshooting

Note: The full descaling procedure must be completed to turn

off the Descale light.

You will need: a large ceramic mug (10oz minimum), fresh

water, Keurig® Descaling Solution, and access to a sink.

Do not use a paper cup. Ensure that there is no beverage

pod in the K-Cup® pod holder. The descaling procedure takes

approximately 20 minutes.

STEP 1: Prepare the Brewer

Pour the entire bottle of Keurig® Descaling Solution into an

empty water reservoir.

Then fill the empty bottle with water and pour into the

water reservoir.

Do not insert a K-Cup® pod.

Place a large mug on the drip tray.

STEP 2: Descale the Brewer

To activate Descale Mode, begin with the brewer plugged in

and powered off, then press and hold the 6oz and 10oz buttons

together for 3 seconds.

When flashing, press the 8oz button to start the descaling

process.

Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink.

Continue to brew 8oz until the ADD WATER light illuminates.

STEP 3: Fresh Water Rinse

Empty the water reservoir and refill to the MAX FILL line

with fresh water.

When flashing, press the 8oz button to start the

rinsing process.

Once the brew is complete, pour the hot liquid into the sink.

Continue to brew 8oz until the DESCALE notification turns off.

The brewer has now exited Descale Mode and will be ready

for use!

NOTE: The cleaning action of Keurig® Descaling Solution may result in a “foam” dispensed

from the brewer. This is natural, as the solution is reacting with the scale inside. For a brewer

that is heavily scaled, the brewer may not fill properly after the descaler is added. If this

occurs, you may see little to no output dispensed, followed by the sound of air blowing out. If

this occurs:

• Turn off and unplug the brewer.

• If there is Keurig® Descaling Solution in the water reservoir, discard the contents, rinse

the water reservoir thoroughly, and refill with water.

• Plug the brewer back in, power on, and repeat the Step 3 Fresh Water Rinse cycle.

The brewer should begin to function normally as the solution is rinsed out and the scale

is removed. If problem persists, allow brewer to sit unplugged for at least 30 minutes

before continuing with the rinse.

Descaling Procedure

Helpful Hints

Water quality varies greatly. If you notice an undesirable

taste in your beverage (such as chlorine or mineral tastes),

we recommend using bottled or filtered water. Do not use

distilled water.

Service

Beyond these recommended cleaning and maintenance

procedures, this brewer is not user serviceable. For service,

please refer to the Warranty section of this guide.

Storage

Empty the water reservoir before storing or transporting

and take care to ensure that you store your brewer in a

safe and frost-free environment. When you prepare to use

it after storage, we recommend rinsing the water reservoir

with fresh water and descaling the brewer as detailed in the

Descaling Procedure section.

If you plan to move your brewer to a different location, turn

the brewer off, unplug it, and empty the water reservoir.

If your brewer has been in an environment below freezing,

please be sure to let it warm to room temperature for at

least 2 hours before using.

LIMITED ONE-YEAR WARRANTY

Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (Keurig) warrants that your brewer will

be free of defects in materials or workmanship under normal home

use for one year from the date of purchase. It is recommended

that you register your brewer on keurig.com/new so that your

purchase information will be stored in our system. Keurig will, at its

option, repair or replace a defective brewer without charge upon its

receipt of proof of the date of purchase. If a replacement brewer is

necessary to service this warranty, the replacement brewer may be

new or reconditioned. If a replacement brewer is sent, a new limited

one-year warranty will be applied to the replacement brewer.

This warranty only applies to brewers operated in the United States

and Canada. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you

may also have other rights that vary from state to state and, in the

case of Canada, from province to province.

Only the use of Keurig® K-Cup® brand pods and accessories will

guarantee the proper functioning and lifetime of your Keurig®

brewer. Any damage to or malfunction of your brewer resulting

from the use of non-Keurig® pods and accessories may not be

covered by this warranty or may result in a service fee if the damage

or malfunction is determined to be caused by such use.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY?

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER CONSEQUENTIAL OR

INCIDENTAL DAMAGES SUCH AS PROPERTY DAMAGE AND

DOES NOT COVER INCIDENTAL COSTS AND EXPENSES

RESULTING FROM ANY BREACH OF THIS WARRANTY, EVEN IF

FORESEEABLE. Some states or provinces do not allow the exclusion

or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above

limitation or exclusion may not apply to you depending on the state

or province of purchase.

Nor does this warranty cover damages caused by use of non-Keurig®

pods or accessories, services performed by anyone other than

Keurig or its authorized service providers, use of parts other than

genuine Keurig® parts, or external causes such as abuse, misuse,

inappropriate power supply, or acts of God.

OTHER LIMITATIONS

THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ANY

OTHER EXPRESS WARRANTY, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL.

IN ADDITION, KEURIG HEREBY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS

ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO YOUR

KEURIG® BREWER, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY

OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR

PURPOSE. Some states or provinces do not allow disclaimers

of such implied warranties or limitations on how long an implied

warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you

depending on the state or the province of purchase.

HOW DO YOU OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE?

Keurig® brewers are high-quality appliances and, with proper care,

are intended to provide years of satisfying performance. However,

should the need arise for warranty servicing, simply call Keurig

Customer Service at our toll-free phone number, 1-866-901-BREW
